5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, "Tell Aaron, 'Reach your hand out. Hold your staff over the streams, waterways and ponds. Make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.' "
6 So Aaron reached his hand out over the waters of Egypt. The frogs came up and covered the land.
7 But the magicians did the same things by doing their magic tricks. They also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8 Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. He said to them, "Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I'll let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord."
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "You can have the honor of setting the time for me to pray. I will pray for you, your officials and your people. I'll pray that the frogs will leave you and your homes. The only frogs left will be the ones in the Nile River."
10 "Tomorrow," Pharaoh said. Moses replied, "It will happen just as you say. Then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 The frogs will leave you and your houses. They will leave your officials and your people. They will remain only in the Nile River."
